ANTIREFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patgnted Feb. 27, 191% Application filed April 30, 1912. Serial No. 694,229.

To all whom t may concern Be it knownthat I, ALY I. Soi-IALL, a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, residing at Yonkers, in the county of "Westchester and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Antirefillable Bottles, of which the. following is a specification.

My invention relates to the class of nonreillable bottles, and more particularly to a bottle having a locking mechanism within its neck which prevents-the refilling of the saine, except when said mechanism is withdrawn by the use of al s )ecial tool.

The primary object o my invention is to provide a non-.reillable bottle of simple yet efficient construction which shall have means p whereby a cap may be locked to the top of said bottle, and not removed except through the means aforesaid.

Another object of my invention isrto provide a bottle of the foregoing type having a cap of such construction as to cause any liquid forced through one side of said cap to flow out. of the other without entering said bottle.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a bottle having the l'oregoingA features which may be locked to the body of said bottle in a new 'and novel manner.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention consists in such details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out in theapl'iended claims.

In describing my invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or correspoiuling parts throughout the several views. and in which- Figure l is a vertical sectional view of a.

portion of a bottle.' incorporating` my' improvements. i

Fig. Q is a vertical sectional view of a detail. showing the locking means.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the. line 'lofFig. Q. v

Fig. l is a detailed view looking down upon the cap.

Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view of the under side ot' the cap taken on the line 5--5 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 6 combines two detail views of the special tool used for unlocking the mechanism of my bottle.

lIn reducing the invention to` practice a bottle 1 of usual construction is employed. This bottle has the customary neck Q which however is separated from the interior of the bottle by means of a bridge piece .3, through which pass apertures 4 and 5. In the neck 2 is also disposed a partition 6 cast integral with th'e remainder of the bottle, thus causing the aperture 5 to extend in a long passage way 7 to the upper end of the said neck as will be' readily understood.` The remainder of the neck is entirely open as shown at 8, this space communicating with the body through the aperture 4:

In the center of the bridge piece 3 is an aperture centrally disposed in the bridge piece and the upper face of the bridge being hollowed out as shown at 10 for a purpose which will be hereinafter more fully pointed out.v A plug 11, provided with a flared head, is passed upwardly through a centrally disposed aperture in the bridge 3, and may, if desired, Ybe held in place by a seal 12, which may be eitherglass or other suitable vitreous substance.' Said plug 11 is provided with external screw threads 13, upon the shank, which are adapted to engage internal threads 14 disposed 'in the ends of the hollow connecting member-1.5.- .In

cases where the device of my invention-is appliedto common types of bottles which have openings in the bottom which are closed by cork and seals, especially where the bottles are not of the elongated` but of. the squat type, it will be readily seen that the plug 11 could be readily inserted a magnetized screw driver, or other suitable means, and thereafter sealed. connecting member is also internally screw threaded at its other endA so as to receive l the screwtlueaded end 16 of an elongated stem 17 ldisposed within the hollow spiace of the neck. of the bottle. The screw threads on the-member 16 and the corresponding 'end of the member lmustbe opposite'from Said hollow" Y' trated in Fig. 6

' and the bridge piece 3 I insert between these engage the cross member from the plug 11 and the withdrawal of the entire my bottle.I l

The stem 17 referred to is hollow its entire length as illustrated at 19, the'passage Way designated by the last mentioned numeral opening through the top of acap as illustrated. The special tool 21 illusmay be inserted through the passage way 19 and 18, thus permitting the member 15 to be turned or unscrewed from the plug 11 and withdrawn as before mentioned.

In order-to secure a tight joint as well as a resilient one between the member l5 the cap 20 intol members'a washer 22 made of cork or other similar material.

Referring again to the cap 2O it is pointed out that said cap is rigidly connected to the tubular stem` 17, and is entirely hollow except where the passage way l9`passes through said cap. rIlle-under face is provided with an aperture 23 conforming in size, shape vand position with the end of the passage way 7 so that when said cap is in position any fluid passing through the pasis also connected with .opening 30 is provid sage way 7 will find its way into the hollow cap. Oppositely disposed openings 2a are formed in the edge of the cap 20 so as to permit the contents of said cafp to escape.

The cap referred to as well as the stem 17 the solid member 25 which is provided with the shoulder 26 disposed. adjacent the shoulder 27 ,formed on the neck of the' bottle, so that a cork or other Washer 28 `may be inserted between said shoulder'svthus forming a tight joint. An

yd through the portionl 25 of the cap thereby forming an air vent so that the liquid may be poured from ythe bottle'. A. f- It will be seen that it is impossibleto fill l"this bottlejexcept by inserting the' special tool provided forthe purpose through the. v passage way l9engaging the cross 18,-.and

' withdrawing. the entirev leaking,v mechanism,

yone not provided'with such a toolwill find it impossible to'reli 'the bottle withL out breaking the neck or at least thelocking of course will be: -readily 'apparent andi make it clear thatl fraudulent means havebeen resorted to lin device thereof, which order to refill said bottle. It it should -be attempted to llthe bottle by forcing liquid through the apertures 24 into the capA 20, it will be found that the liquid merely Hows out of said cap through*the other aperture interior mechanism of 24 and that none of it will find its way into the bottle.

' I desire it to be understood that theforegoing describes merely the preferred form of my invention and that slight changes in the construction and in the arrangement and combination of the several parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention provided such changes tall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fullydescribed my invention, what'I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. In a. device of the character described, a bottle having a neck pro-vided with a bridge near the base/thereof, said bridge having apertures therein, said neck having a passage-way therethrough, a bottle cap on the end of said neck, said cap having an aperture registering with said passageway, a depending stem connectedto said cap and having a `passage-way extending there through, a stud having threads screwed into said bridge, a hollow connecting member internally threaded at each end, one end adapted to engage the threads on one end of said stud and the other end adapted to engage screwthreads on the end of said depending stem, one set of threads being right-handed and the other left-handed, and means in said connecting member adapted to receive a special tool passed through said stem whereby the cap and connecting men1- ber may be taken from the bottle.

2. In a device of the character described, a bottle having a neck provided with a bridge near the base thereof, said bridge having apertures therein, said neck having a passage-way therethrough, a bottle cap on the `end of said neck, said cap having an aperture registering with said passage way, a. depending stem connected to said cap and having a passageway dextending therethrough, a stud having threads screwed into said bridge, a hollow connecting memberinternally threaded at each end," one end adapted to engage the threads on oneend of said stud and the other end Aadapted to engage screw threads on the end of said depending stem, one set of threads being right /handed and v.the other left-handed, means in said connecting' member adapted to receive a special rtool passed through said slot whereby the cap and connecting member may be taken from the bottle.
